OS: XP Home SP2


Pin XP Bootup Hangs at Desktop

XP Home version SP2 -- computer completes POST and hangs either at "welcome screen" or desktop and "freezes" up requiring forced restart. After 4 or 5 attempts it finally boots-up completely. No Virus, No Malware. Once the computer is warm (after running for awhile) it reboots with no problem. Please offer any assistance. Greatly appreciated! Thanks
